Victory Road worries me. One of the rules i have followed is i have to fight every wild pokemon. Im worried that because of the length of the dungeon i might be in trouble. All the fights will wear down quickly on my team. I've decided im going to use blastiose and primeape for escort and the other pokes for trainers battles. I'm actually more worried about victory road than the elite four.

Also, I'm entering a frlg tourney in january with friends so i won't be training backup pokes if i lose a guy or white out along the way. My team is in the 70's and i am going to give this 100%. If those 6 die i will resign the challange even though i have 7 backup pokes in my box. I dont have the time to train up 6 more random guys xD

At the end of the day i only am using these 6 and no items to propel me to greatness or doom. wish me luck.

How did I not notice this thread sooner >.< Just wiped my Sapphire game to try it out. (i was about to restart it anyways to get a better kyogre to play with in diamond) rule 5 i'm modifying: i get to use any items i find (except revives), and i get to buy pokeballs. I'm also going to allow myself to catch shinies / legends (and SR the legends for nature / stats), even if i've gotten my poke for the area, but i dont get to use them at all during the challenge. i just want to migrate them when i'm done

So far I'm at route 104 with 3 pokes. (missed out on 2 at the start. route 101 i crit-killed the zigzagoon and route 103 i ran into a zigzagoon before i had pokeballs)Kipp, lvl 9 Jenny, lvl 8 Monty, lvl 5

Primeape took out dewong, cloyester, slowbro, and hit jinx. However cross chop missed 3 times and cloyester got up hail. cloyester also got two protects in a row then dies. Jinx comes in and i hurt my self in confusion and he got a crit that slaughtered my primeape.

ironic. I've had the guy since 30 mins in the game and now he dies first.

Beedrill takes out the jynx and lapras comes in.

I send in my persian to take the hit and i fake out. surf does about 35% from the lapras so im sweating bullets. i decide to switch to control.

SHE CONFUSE RAYS MY SWITCH! arg. i bite her. and get a crit but fail to take out the lapras and she gets para hax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss a steel wing and get two speed drops on my pidgeot vs the onix giving me a crap load of damage and no real progress to show. I end up using gravity (golem) and get through everything. Even though nobody died i got bad hax AGAIN and lost alot of health i really shouldnt of. oh well.

as the battle progress i get confused and another lucky toxic hit on my pidgeot!!

@ this point i turned off my game. I'm going to give the elite four one more go. I lost because of the hax so i feel entitled to one more go xD

vs lorelei

no gay stuff happened. I led with golem and was not screwed by luck. I eq'd 2 times. ko'ing the first guy and taking her cloyester to 40% I then set a rollout which took out the rest.amazing what no screwed up luck can do eh?

blastiose: fullbeedrill: fullpidgeot: full primeape: full golem: fullpersian: full

vs bruno:

My blastiose isnt paralyzed this time around (thank god) so i can go with the orginal plan and have it lead off. He got two crits on me this match but blastiose was the only one who took the damage and it went rather nicely

leading off with beedrill. 2nd move he uses shadow punch....... and gets a crit O_O im now at 1/2 health but i ko the first gengar. he brings in golbbat and i bring in a golem which takes an air cutter then confuse ray. My rollout..... roll then breaks one move later at his arbok. his haunter curses me and that will screw my golem. i still went with my rollout change but his gengar his faster and ko's me. fml i send out control hoping im faster... and i am and i hit hydro cannon and kill him. Haxy again but it wasnt catosrphic.

I lead with persian and start double teaming. the gyardous hits me with bite but i get all 6 up and take it out. I then take out his areodactyal and go for his dnite. he hits me with a hyper through it and kills my persian! but fortuneately i put on blizzard on my toise' b4 the match and took out his dnite. his nair' came in and my blizzard missed! and he t'waved me. I killed it and the last nair' raged me and i took back my toise and used pidgeot to kill it but it took a hyper beam too

lead with pidgeot and do 1/2 damage to his with fly. go into ape who kills it and goes for thrash on his zam but dies in the process. pidgeot kills that with quick attack. rhydon comes in and i go for a steel wing which does nothing and he goes for rock tomb which misses. i switch to my blastiose. I die to him :O My beedrill dies. my swiftbeak then..... dies.

ps. I had on the turn where pidgeot died used one max revive (once my pidgeot was for sure dead) and let my blastiose pawn gary's team xD oh well.

I quit my game before it saved and plan on taking one more stab at it.

hmmm. i'm was allowing myself to use items... it turns out thats really broken when you have 2 zigzagoons in sapphire. so instead of leveling up my team to match the gym leaders highest level pokemon, like i usually do, i went in at whatever level i reached battling trainers up to the gym + 1.

In the forest I ran into and caught another zigzagoon. then ran into a slakoth followed by a shroomish and was sad. i could never find them when i was trying to catch them all in my previous games, go figure. (same thing with route 104, ran into Ralts early in, but not early enough to be allowed to catch it)

in other news, i just picked up a , named it Murmur. was battling trainers, chatting with someone, look down at my screen to see that i locked Murmur into Uproar against a Machop. R.I.P. Murmur. I'm sorry you only lived about 5 minutes

I'm taking one more go @ it. I will follow all the rules i have imposed blah blah blah. This time around I will try to use golem vs bruno and save blastiose for later. I will also replace blizzard with ice beam since the three blizzard misses were key factors in the last try. Anyway: im gonna give play by play this game so it's hopefull easier to read.

vs Lorelei:Led with Golem. Took out dewgong with an earthquake. She brought in cloyster. I eq'd. cloyster protected. I eq'd. She set up spikes. I used rollout. she protected. I used rollout ko'ing it. She brought out Jynx. Rollout hit. (+2) jynx fainted. She brought outlapras. Rollout hit (+3). Lapras fainted. she brought out slowbro. rollout hit (+4) and slowbro fainted. The battle went 100% according to plan.

vs Bruno: I led with golem he led with onix. I eq'd and it fainted. (this is a gamble because if eq cannot ko his team i will probably lose golem). He brought out onix and i eq'd and fainted it too. He brought out hitmonchan. I eq'd and he died with a crit in my favor. He sent out Hitmonlee and I eq'd which ko'd it. He sent out Machamp and I eq'd. It took him to read and machamp scary faced. His berry kicked in giving him yellow health. I switched to pidgeot but he cross chopped. It did about 45% damage. I flew up and hit fly. Victory. This was a great battle for me. There was victories in the right places and golem which will be crucial vs gary is 100% intact. Unlike previous hack fests this is going smoothly.

vs Agatha: i decided to lead with pidgeot since it would be immune to ghost types. I also am not worried that much about it getting poisoned and it can aviod stuff with fly. I send out pidgeot and she sends out gengar. I flew up and gengar double teamed. Fly missed and gengar double teamed. AGAIN. I flew up gengar used something (i was looking away). Fly hit but the gengar also hit me with confuse ray. I went for steel wing and it missed and gengar double teamed. I'm not predicting a ghost move since pidgeot is out there and beedrill resists everything else gengar has. I sent gengar in and gengar used double team. I used airel ace (which always hits) and ko'd it. She sent out golbat. I switched to gravity and golbat used air cutter. I used rollout! it hit and golbat didnt faint. Golbat used bite and i used rollout which hit and ko'd golbat (x2). She sent out arbok which got hit by rollout (x3) and not ko'd due to its intimidate. Arbok used screech and healed up while i hit it with rollout (x4) and ko;d it. She sent out haunter and i ate it alive with rollout (x5). she sent out gengar and i sent out control and she went for a hyponsis which missed, I used bite, wont the speed and took it to yellow and she got a berry taking the gengars health almost to yellow. She used hyponsis again and missed and i used bite again and ko'd it. My first battle vs Agatha was atrociously hax filled against me and the second was better. This battle went perfectly to plan and the hax was against her with no confusion vs me and her hyponsis missing. I have only one pokemon with decent damage heading into Lance

vs Lance: led with persian he used gyardous. I used double team. gyara missed with bite. slash double teamed. gyara missed with bite. slash double teamed. gyara dragon raged and missed. slash double teamed. gyara missed with dragon rage. slash double teamed. gyara hit with dragon rage. slash double teamed. gyara hit with bite. slash slashed. gyara missed with d-rage. slash slashed and got a crit leaving it with a sliver. gyara missed with drage. lance healed and i used slash. i slashed and got a crit which owned gyara and it fainted. Lance sent in Aerodactyl. I used faint attack. aero used scary face. slash faint attacked. aero used scary faced and missed. i faint attacked and aero hit with hyper beam. i survived with 30 hp and used faint attack. he recharched and i used faint attack again to ko the aero. Lance sent in his dnite and i slashed. dnite outraged and missed. i slashed. he outraged and missed. I slashed. and he missed with outrage. His berry kicked in taking him to barely green hp. i slash and he hit with wing attack taking out my persian. i sent in control. I ko'd dnite with ice beam. I then ko'd both dragonairs with control.

This also was a perfect battle. losing persian was expected and it hung in their for quiet a while and it preformed perfectly. There was no miss hax with blizzard (since i didnt pack it) and no t-waves to screw my team over. My team is functioning perfectly. Last time i went to gary with a team barely intact and now i have all the key players (pidgeot, blastiose, golem) in good shape with two kill fodder/useful gues (primeape/beedrill).

i led with blastiose and him pidgeot. I ice beamed and ko'd him. He sent out venasuar. I ice beamed and ko'd him with a crit (that wasnt a big deal since he had sleep powder, solar beam, eq and leach seed. I would have 2 hit ko'd him regardless). he sent out zam and used hydrocannon and got a one hit ko obviously. he sent out rhydon. i recharged and he scary faced. i surfed (still faster lol) and took out his rhydon. He sent out gyarados and used thrash which did nothing. I used bite. blah blah blah and i ko'd gyara after 3 or so turns with 105 hp left on my control. He sent out arcanine which extremespeed. I took 30 points damage and ko'd him with a hydro cannon.

My blastiose swept his team xD

You can see now how in the second try the para/miss hax really screwed me. The loss the first time was because of putting some pokes in acouple bad match ups. Ironically Control and Gravity were power players while pidgeot, beedrill and primeape (all of whom were trained to sweep bruno, agatha and loreali respectively failed). Amazing what a plan working can do eh?

Erick,could you please at least make sure spelling of the Pokemon are correct? >.> No offence but misspelling names of Poke's seem as if you have no "respect" in them at all. And kindly edit the mistakes in not so much on grammer.

For eg : the first post , you said "sting came in and took out blastoise" which you obviously meant to say lapras.. it makes it easier for people to understand and its Dewgong,Cloyster and not Dewong and stuff. Just making sure no1 gets confused..

gah! caught Whisper the in Rusturf Tunnel. Healed up, went back to route 116 to level her to match my next lowest poke and.... she died to a crit from a Taillow using Peck :'( R.I.P. Whisper. I guess whismurs were just not meant to be in my party.

I'm going to get my fishing rod and then boat back to go fishing in Petalburg. because going under-level against a fighting gym with 4 pokes, 2 of which are normal type, is just not going to work. either way tho, I'm kinda expecting Game Over later today at the hands of Brawly's gym >.<

@KingErick: I don't know if you can say you've beaten the Nuzlocke Challenge, considering it was your third try on the E4. Isn't the point of the challenge that luck can make or break it for you? (like taillow crit killing my poor poor Whisper :'( )

edit - wow, i suck at this I caught a in petalburg (named Karen), went to train it up to match my team, and poor Jeanette went from in the green to dead against a whismur. why don't my guys ever get to crit like that? methinks this shall be a short challenge for me >.<

edit2 - woot! beat brawly! (2nd gym) I honestly thought i was going to die against him, but Kipps kicked butt (with potion help, but he went in there under level and had no help from his teammates, so he's still win )So here's what I've got and where they were from:

_________________Nuzlocke Challengecurrent party in HG:If you want to find me outside of Psypoke, you can find me on the pokemon lab server, look for steamroll. They will also be updating to the Gen V metagame soon so that will be worth checking out, too.

granite cave: caught Fangs the did a bunch of story stuff, got my exp share, got to slateport..route 110: failed to catch my (this game REALLY wanted me to have a team of them for some reason)then I lost Jenny and Monty to a trainer on route 110. I find it strange that all my deaths were to critical hits... anyways, got to Brendan with Kipp Fangs and Karen . Karen only knew splash, so no help there. and his grovyle was a level higher than Kipp, 4 lvls higher than Fang. Needless to say, GAME OVER

It was fun. I think I'm gonna try again, same rules as before except maybe i'll let myself train to the level of the gym i'm about to attack Starting with this time. I'll update when i get to the first gym successfully =)

An update Tortetra ? lvl 17 Caught Melody ? ? then it died....Caught Raven ? Now its lvl 17 and a Caught Drakey ? was killed by Roarks ...Caught Regal ? and after slaughtering hundreds of and it evolved into lvl 20Caught Witch (Timid!) ? taught it hidden power and evolved to then exploited GTS Trade Glitch to get lvl 16Caught Boulder ? lvl 17 Defeated Roark! Now at Valley wind works.

i meant to say that blastiose left the field.

English is my 4th language so there is occasionally a tensing mistake

and thanks for the congratulations on beating the challenge

Whoo! Oh man, has it been some time since I had an update. People beating the challenge, losing the challenge and me still at the exact same spot since my last update. Not that I haven't been playing mind you, as I have albeit very mildly (I got caught up into the card game) but the fact my LV72 was OHKO'd by a LV39 didn't help. So, I've been training a LV8 in the meantime before I continued my game. So, expect an update guys, sometime tomorrow night EST from me.

I finally got all my pokemon to lvl 20. I decided it was time to battle misty. Batmanflys took care of 90% of the pokemon in the gym, But mistys slaughtered batmanflys , , bugthingys , and hurricane ALL with water pulse. If mist hadnt used a freakin super potion after I was able to poison starmie and get it to the red, they would still be here.

arrmagedon is the only survivor after the encounter with misty. He switched in and poison took care of starmie. Now I have a party of one and I cant catch any more pokemon from previous routes. I will now Grind until Im able to beat my rival (lvl 50 anyone?). I really wish I had a pickachu..... CURSE YOU MISTY!!!!!!!!

My last update was on the October 27th and this one falls on the November 16th. So, I've been really slacking lately. I got a bit discouraged and fell into the lure of the card game, but alas, I returned to it and grinded a serious replacement. I went to the Islands after I got my seventh badge, trained there and did what little I could. There, however, I lost Dale in a team battle against a LV39 and LV39 . It was a critical hit Cross Chop on Dale, a OHKO. I stared at the screen and blinked a few times, disbelieving that my LV72 Dale died so...so...sadly. It wasn't an epic death like so many others, it was...a rather simple and...silly death. I was saddened, discouraged and that was when I didn't touch the game as much as I did before. But, I came back, finished my training, flew to Viridian and let Bubbles tear through the Gym. As I imagine, it would've been...exactly like that, a huge gaping tear in the Gym. So, I have my eighth badge and I'll be blowing through my Rival and on my way down Victory Road soon.
